Good idea. Ok, here's an example then, at least from my understanding, since I'm waiting for Blue and Merl to add their take on it:

How it usually goes - Mouse and Rabbit are having a conversation of randomness on the chat room when Evilmink comes in. He starts making rude comments to Mouse and Rabbit & tries to stop them from having their perfectly fine conversation because it is annoying him. It's a conversation that's just nonsense but they aren't breaking protocol. Evilmink gets into an argument with Mouse or Rabbit (or both) and both sides feel they are justified in arguing with each other. None of the mods do anything about the conversation except give opinions and tell everyone to stop since there was no perceived breach of protocol, but the feud eventually escalates out of control, ending in someone leaving the wiki or someone being banned.

How it will optimally go - Mouse and Rabbit are having a conversation of randomness on the chat room when Evilmink comes in. He starts making rude comments to Mouse and Rabbit & tries to stop them from having their perfectly fine conversation because it is annoying him. It's a conversation that's just nonsense but they aren't breaking protocol. When it is perceived that Evilmink is trying to offend, Modman steps in, asking Mouse & Rabbit if Evilmink is bothering them (they say yes). Modman than gives Evilmink a single warning to stop harassing Mouse and Rabbit. If he doesn't stop he gets kickbanned for a period of time dependent upon the seriousness of the offense. If he stops, Modman helps Evilmink see what he's doing wrong in a friendly manner and helps diffuse any anger or resentment being felt between both sides. When the situation is taken care of, Modman lets Evilmink go about his business, whereupon Evilmink, Mouse, and Rabbit get along fine or at least refrain from bringing up offenses.
